Simba's decision to follow the Primeiro De Agosto on Saturday, which is the day before the game, has taken into account the challenges that many teams face when they are in Angola
It has been reported that the main reason why Simba's management, in consultation with the technical bench under coach Juma Mgunda, decided that the team should not stay in Angola for a long time is to avoid dirty tricks from local people which will cause the players to be psychologically affected
Simba will travel by private chartered plane, they will leave Dar es Salaam at dawn on Saturday, they will land in Angola that day and in the evening they will train in the field that will be used on the day of the game
After the game Simba will leave Angola to return to Tanzania for the preparation of the return game which will be played on October 17
"They have had the habit of taking the opposing team's players out of the game when they are in their country using various methods, so if you stay there for a long time, it is easy for the players to get scared"
"This going for a short time is beneficial because the players will wake up on the day of the game so they won't have to face many things outside the field," the Simba leader was quoted by Mwanaspoti
In recent seasons, Simba has done well in the knockout matches played away from home
